4 out of 5

by Phil from Caldwell, NJ | Jan 23, 2010

I didn't agree with some of Carr's arguments, but this is well-written and researched. I refuse to give a bad rating to a book when I don't agree with some of the premise.

by Stephen from Japan | Dec 7, 2008

Carr basically says that applications have reached the point where they are becoming commodities. He frequently references parallels in the train industry to make his point. His prediction is that cloud computing will provide better bang for the buck for businesses as leaving to professionals the IT work provides an economy of scale when it is centralized.

Today it seems like his predictions are taking place, but to what degree the trend will continue is unclear.
